Review by Nereida

"Great Teacher

My teacher is amazing. A master professional in his musical field. He teaches like he's done it for decades, even though so young. I would

dare to say he can teach with his eyes close. I love all his teaching techniques, from theory to scale, to practicing the Hanon Studies, to ear training and on. I like how he plays along with me while teaching me a new musical score. He completely dedicated to teaching his student and making sure his pupil is satisfied with his performance. He'll even help you with preparing you for an recital or musical event. He knows how. I highly recommend for teaching any pupil from age 3 to 92. He'll ask me what I want to do next, and then we look for scores that I can learn according to my level.. He's attention to your needs as a student and works around it. I always look forward to going to my next lesson and see how I improved and what's new score he's prepare for me to learn."

Review by Tami

"Excellent Approach

Charlie has been a great introduction for my son Jordan into the world of Piano. He has been patient and made the lessons fun and rewa

rding for Jordan. Jordan is 7yrs old and practicing isn't his favorite thing to do, but somehow Charlie made practicing sound rewarding and worthwhile. Jordan loves piano even more now than when the lessons began. I really appreciate the time and energy Charlie has taken with keeping my son focused. I would highly recommend him as a piano instructor."

Review by Amy

"I have been taking piano lessons with Charlie for a year now.

As an adult learning piano for the first time, I was concerned that I find a teacher who

could help teach an old dog new tricks.

Charlie is terrific! He has accommodated my learning style, tailoring each lesson to my capabilities. He is patient and fun, the two best traits you could want in a teacher.

A very enthusiastic recommend!"
